Any thoughts on this?

Take a look at the whole "mock objects" concept.


If this is really about *unit* testing of your components, you IMNHSO don't want to use a full-fledged merlin installation, you want a "mock" container that doesn't give you headaches about classloaders, repository management, property files, etc etc.

If it is about *integration* testing (ie "do my unit tested components actually fit together, and inside the server?"), a better idea, again IMHO, is to actually run the server (in standalone mode) and connect a debugger (or in the case of a server, connect a test client).
